Somy Ali has once again brought attention to the mysterious disappearance of Bollywood actor Raj Kiran, who has been missing since 2004. Despite years passing without a trace, Ali revealed that she continues her relentless search to find the actor, utilizing various investigative avenues over the past sixteen years without finding a definitive breakthrough.
The Promise Made to Rishi Kapoor
Sharing details on social media, Ali explained that she had given her word to the late Rishi Kapoor during a film shoot that she would never give up the search for Raj Kiran. July 27 marked the continuation of her public efforts as she posted documents related to the case. Over the years, she has hired multiple private investigators and pursued every single lead or tip that came her way, though none have yielded positive results.
Investigating New York and Atlanta Leads
The documents shared by Ali highlight her extensive efforts, including multiple visits to Atlanta, which was known as Raj Kiran's last recorded location. She noted that she tracked down an apartment in New York where she learned that a resident had never laid eyes on the actor. However, the records and her inquiries showed that the actor's brother Gobind, Judy, Gobind's wife, and their daughter lived in that specific apartment for eleven years. Despite speaking directly with members of the actor's family on numerous occasions, she received no helpful answers, leaving her constantly worried about his well-being. She has also appealed for assistance, offering a reward for anyone who can provide authentic information.
The Legacy of Raj Kiran
Raj Kiran, who famously starred alongside Rishi Kapoor in the film Karz, delivered memorable performances in several prominent Bollywood projects. However, as the 1990s progressed, work opportunities began to dry up, and he drifted away from the limelight. His gradual disappearance eventually became public knowledge, prompting even Rishi Kapoor to make earnest attempts back then to locate his former co-star, though those early efforts also proved unsuccessful.
